TRUMP TO CUT FUNDS TO BABY BUTCHERS AT PLANNED PARENTHOOD

Trump administration will cut funds to Planned Parenthood for abortion services



The Trump administration will issue sweeping new rules on government funding of family planning facilities that will include denying money to Planned Parenthood facilities that refer clients for abortions.
Planned Parenthood allies are screaming about the cuts, but in actuality, none of PP's "women's health" services is affected.  Birth control and medical care for poor women will continue to be funded.  The new rules also do not impact Medicaid payments.
But the rule changes will affect Planned Parenthood's involvement in abortions.
The major changes include a new requirement that all participating Title X providers "maintain physical and financial separation from locations which provide abortion as a method of family planning."  This means that any clinic or doctor's office that also offers abortions is no longer allowed to receive federal grants that would help provide free or low-cost birth control for low-income women.
Although a spokesperson from the Health and Human Services Department, which oversees Title X, told Refinery29 via email that the Trump administration "seeks to serve more women and men than previously served in the Title X program," advocates say the new changes will do precisely the opposite.
Reproductive rights advocates say this is a direct attack on Planned Parenthood, which via the organization's nationwide network of family planning clinics, is currently the largest provider of Title X-funded birth control services. Roughly 41% of patients receiving birth control funded by Title X get those prescriptions at a Planned Parenthood clinic." data-reactid="22" type="text">Reproductive rights advocates say this is a direct attack on Planned Parenthood, which via the organization's nationwide network of family planning clinics, is currently the largest provider of Title X-funded birth control services.  Roughly 41% of patients receiving birth control funded by Title X get those prescriptions at a Planned Parenthood clinic.
The new rules will not prevent anyone from getting birth control pills.  It's a straw man argument to claim otherwise.
The new rules also include strict guidelines around what participating providers can and cannot say about pregnancy and abortion.  In short, participating providers will no longer be required to offer both pregnancy or abortion counseling, as they were before.  Now they are only permitted to offer "nondirective pregnancy counseling" and crucially, they are prohibited from even referring women to abortion providers.
Reproductive health experts have referred to this change as a "gag rule" because it limits what providers can and cannot say to patients.  Major medical associations including the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (ACOG) and the American Medical Association have opposed the rule on the grounds that it violates medical ethics to keep information from patients.
It's unclear how many of these rule changes will survive a court challenge, but with the overly broad definition of "women's health" used by Planned Parenthood and its allies, some of the rule changes will almost certainly be struck down.  What the rules do is take the emphasis in Title X off abortion and put it where it belongs: the reproductive and physical health of women.


ABORTION KILLS…. the innocent!

“I Cut the Vocal Cord So The Baby Can't Scream.”

Dr. Leah Torres, an OB/GYN in Salt Lake City, Utah, said that when she performs certain abortions she cuts the vocal cord of the baby so "there's really no opportunity" for the child to scream. She also described herself as a "uterus ripper outer" because she performs hysterectomies.




Students for Life Pushes Back Against Planned Parenthood-Sponsored ‘Sex Week’

Students For Life of America decided to host its own sex-education week in response to the Planned Parenthood-sponsored “Sex Week” occurring on college campuses across the country.

“Sex Week” refers to a week of events occurring annually on college campuses, in which schools across the country “educate” students about topics ranging from BDSM to abortion, under the guise of conventional sex education.
These events have been known to be backed by organizations like Planned Parenthood, such as Ohio State University’s Sex Week, which included a Planned Parenthood-sponsored talk on abortion during the week of Valentine’s Day.
The Students for Life of America chapters at Ohio State University and the University of Nebraska Omaha responded to the infamous Sex Week events on their campuses by hosting their own week of events focused on topics that appeared to have been left out of the conversation, according to the national organization.
“Sex Week at Ohio State was chock full of gross wastes of time, like a talk on period sex,” states the organization on its website, “Students for Life at Ohio State was ready to tackle this week of debauchery, and they did so with style.”
The group organized three events during its Sex Week. One event, entitled “Women Betrayed,” which highlights the undercover investigation of Planned Parenthood that uncovered evidence that the organization had trafficked organs of aborted babies.
Women had been betrayed, as they were never made aware of the possibility that their children’s body parts might be sold.
Another event called, “We Care,” informs survivors of sexual assault and rape about what they can do, and where they can get the resources they need.
The third event, titled, “We Don’t Need Planned Parenthood,” offers information about Federally Qualified Health Centers for those who have been misled to believe that Planned Parenthood is necessary for providing — if not for abortions — general health care services for individuals who cannot afford them.
The three events were followed by a screening of the movie, Gosnell: The Trial of America’s Biggest Serial Killer.

Senate to Vote on Bill to Protect Babies Born Alive After Abortion from Infanticide

The Senate will vote Monday on Nebraska Sen. Ben Sasse’s Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act – a bill that would protect babies born alive following failed abortions from infanticide.

Sasse announced the Senate roll call vote in a press release last week.
“I want to thank the Majority Leader for scheduling this vote so that every American can know where their Senator stands on the issue of infanticide,” Sasse, a Republican, said in a statement. “A lot of Senators spend a lot of time telling people how they fight for the little guy. Well, here’s the chance for them to prove it.”
The bill states:
(1) If an abortion results in the live birth of an infant, the infant is a legal person for all purposes under the laws of the United States, and entitled to all the protections of such laws.
(2) Any infant born alive after an abortion or within a hospital, clinic, or other facility has the same claim to the protection of the law that would arise for any newborn, or for any person who comes to a hospital, clinic, or other facility for screening and treatment or otherwise becomes a patient within its care.
Nearly three weeks ago, Senate Democrats – led by Washington Sen. Patty Murray – blocked the Born-Alive bill. Sasse had introduced the legislation and went to the floor of the Senate to ask his colleagues to pass the bill by unanimous consent, but Democrats objected.
“Infanticide shouldn’t be a partisan issue,” Sasse wrote in an op-ed at USA Today. “Every single public servant should be able to say it’s wrong to leave newborn babies to die.”
Meanwhile, Murray touted her visit to Seattle Children’s Hospital, where she met “the dedicated staff and seeing firsthand how they use their resources to serve children and families throughout Northwest WA”:

It was wonderful to visit the @seattlechildren's Hospital-North Clinic in Everett, WA this week. I had a great time meeting the dedicated staff and seeing firsthand how they use their resources to serve children and families throughout Northwest WA.



When it comes to protecting infants “accidentally” born alive after abortion, the Washington senator nevertheless tweeted the Born-Alive Act is “*another* bill attacking women’s rights & health – which leading medical groups have said should never become law”:
Republicans scheduled a show vote on *another* bill attacking women’s rights & health—which leading medical groups have said should never become law. Democrats will stand w/ women, doctors, nurses, & everyone who truly cares about women’s health & rights & make sure it doesn't.



As National Review noted, two of the “leading medical groups” cited by Murray that signed onto a letter opposing Sasse’s bill are Planned Parenthood and the National Abortion Federation. The letter called the measure protecting infants from infanticide a “dangerous government intrusion into private health care decisions.”
National Review also reported that Democrat Sen. Tim Kaine – a Catholic – appears inclined to vote against the Born-Alive Act.
“This bill would establish new requirements for health care practitioners in the case of a fetus who survives an abortion,” Kaine reportedly wrote in a letter to constituents. “I support the right of women to make their own health and reproductive decisions. For that reason, I oppose efforts to weaken the basic holding of Roe v. Wade . . . [and oppose] restricting and criminalizing women’s reproductive decisions.”
In his op-ed, Sasse wrote the kind of thinking that equates infanticide with “women’s reproductive rights” is “radicalism.”
“[A]n extreme pro-abortion lobby is advocating for abortion anytime and for any reason  — even after the baby has left the womb,” he observed. “This kind of radicalism is wildly out of step with the American public, and President Donald Trump was right to highlight it in his recent State of the Union address. But even more important, it’s out of step with who we are as Americans.”

In this country, all of us are created equal. If that equality means anything, surely it means that infanticide is wrong. Frankly, this shouldn’t be hard.



Sasse is determined that the vote on Monday will let all Americans know where their U.S. senators stand on infanticide.
“We’re going to have a vote on the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act and everyone is going to have to put their name by their vote,” Sasse said. “It’s cowardly for a politician to say they’ll fight for the little guy but only if the little guy isn’t an actual seven-pound baby who’s fighting for life. It shouldn’t be hard to protect newborn babies – let’s pass this legislation.”




Sen. Paul Reintroduces 'Life at Conception Act' and Bill to End Planned Parenthood Funding


By Michael W. Chapman | January 18, 2019 |
Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.)
 (CNSNews.com) -- On Friday, as tens of thousands of Americans participated in the March for Life in Washington, D.C., Sen. Rand Paul (R-Ky.) reintroduced his legislation to ensure that unborn children are protected under law from the moment of conception -- the Life at Conception Act-- and his bill to prohibit all federal funding of Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion provider in the United States.
"Each year, the March for Life calls on the powerful to protect life at its most helpless," said Sen. Paul,  an M.D. in ophthalmology, in a statement. "What we say about the value of human life fundamentally impacts who and what we will be as a nation."
"In recognition of this," he said,  "I have reintroduced the Life at Conception Act to ensure the unborn receive equal protection under the law, along with legislation to end forced taxpayer support of Planned Parenthood."
"May the message heard today and the marchers’ passionate dedication inspire change to reaffirm this most basic of rights,” said the senator, whose father Ron Paul was a strong defender of life when he served in the House of Representatives. 
The Life at Conception Act (S.159) does not amend the Constitution but relies on the 14th Amendment to "implement equal protection under the 14th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States for the right to life of each born and preborn person." The bill currently has 12 co-sponsors.
The legislation defines "human person" and "human being" as "each member of the species homo sapiens at all stages of life, including the moment of fertilization or cloning, or other moment at which an individual member of the human species comes into being"
Through the bill, under the 14th Amendment, Congress would declare "that the right to life guaranteed by the Constitution is vested in each human being."

"Nothing in this Act shall be construed to require the prosecution of any woman for the death of her unborn child, a prohibition on in vitro fertilization, or a prohibition on use of birth control or another means of preventing fertilization," reads the legislation. 
The other bill (S.158) states, "Notwithstanding any other provision of law, no Federal funds may be made available to Planned Parenthood Federation of America, or to any of its affiliates."

 

 

Solidarity With the Weakest and Most Vulnerable

Editor's note: The following are excerpts from the remarks Congressman Smith delivered at the 46th annual March for Life. 
Thank you, President Trump, for making it absolutely clear today that you will veto any piece of legislation that undermines or nullifies any pro-life policy, regulation, or rule.
Your extraordinary announcement—your bold solidarity with the weakest and most vulnerable—couldn’t come at a better time.
The new Democratic majority in the House has made it clear that they want to eviscerate all pro-life protections including the Hyde taxpayer abortion funding ban which alone has saved over 2 million people from death by abortion.
Mr. President, be assured that 169 House Members and 49 Senators—well in excess of the requisite number required to prevail—have pledged in writing to sustain your veto.
Why is this so important? Because women and children deserve better than the violence of abortion.
Just ask the brave and amazing women who are silent no more, who sacrifice everything to warn other women—and society—about the tragic consequences of their abortions.
The shocking number of unborn children killed in America is unconscionable: 2,500 each day, approximately 61 million dead babies since 1973—a death toll that equates with the entire population of Italy.
All this as our knowledge concerning the breathtaking miracle of life before birth is unparalleled and when science had made it absolutely clear that birth is an important event in the life of a child – but only an event not its beginning.
Doctors today routinely diagnose and treat a myriad of conditions, illnesses, and diseases suffered by society’s littlest patients—unborn babies—significantly enhancing their health and chances to survive and thrive.
Even first baby pictures proudly shared and displayed are most often ultrasound photos showing the baby alive and maturing in the womb.
The humanity of the unborn child is beyond doubt.
Yet, the pro-abortion movement, like some kind of modern-day flat earth society, continues to cling to outdated indefensible arguments cloaked in euphemism.
Even the seemingly benign word “choice” withers under scrutiny. Choice to do what? Dismember a baby? Starve a child to death and then forcibly expel her or him from the womb?
In order to facilitate the baby’s extermination, pro-abortionists aggressively deny and disrespect the unborn child, and loudly mock and belittle those like each of you who defend a child’s right to life.
I say, let their harsh criticism cause us to work even harder and more effectively—and as our Lord admonished, all the while loving even those spew hatred at you and me.
I believe that your presence here today— your prayers, fasting, and commitment throughout the year –will help ensure that one day soon protection of the weakest and most vulnerable from abortion violence will be restored.

 

 

Poll: 75% of Americans Say Abortion Should Be Restricted



 15 Jan 2019362

poll released Tuesday finds 75 percent of Americans want substantial restrictions on abortion, including 60 percent of Democrats and 61 percent of those who identify as “pro-choice.”

According to the Marist poll and its partner, the Knights of Columbus, the survey demonstrates that the label “pro-choice” can be deceptive when it is interpreted to mean supportive of abortion at any point in pregnancy.


A new KofC/Marist poll on American attitudes toward abortion finds that overwhelming majorities support substantial restrictions on abortion, and would like to see Roe v. Wade reinterpreted to allow restrictions. https://bit.ly/2FrVAPH

“As in past years, this poll shows that the pro-choice label on the abortion issue is simply insufficient,” said Knights of Columbus CEO Carl Anderson. “The majority of Americans – in both parties – support legal restrictions on abortion. Two-thirds of Americans want Roe revisited to allow for state regulation of abortion or to ban it altogether. The majority of the American people deserve to have their opinions heard.”
According to the poll, 75 percent of Americans say abortion should be limited to — at most — the first three months of pregnancy. Among those who identify as Republicans, 92 percent want that restriction, as do 78 percent of independents and 60 percent of Democrats. Perhaps most significantly, that view is shared by 61 percent of those who identify as “pro-choice.”
In addition, the survey finds 65 percent of Americans say if the Supreme Court revisits Roe v. Wade, the high court should either return the issue of the legality of abortion to the states (49 percent) or outlaw the procedure altogether (16 percent). Only 30 percent of those surveyed would prefer that the Supreme Court rule in favor of unrestricted abortion.
Regarding taxpayer funding of the procedure, 54 percent oppose any taxpayer funding of abortion, while 39 percent support it.
On the issue of taxpayer funding of the procedure overseas, the poll finds 75 percent of Americans oppose taxpayer funding abroad, through non-governmental organizations such as International Planned Parenthood, with only 19 percent in favor of such funding. When political affiliation is a factor, 94 percent of Republicans, 80 percent of independents, and 56 percent of Democrats oppose taxpayer funding of abortion overseas.
When asked if medical professionals with moral objections to abortion should be permitted to opt out of performing them, 55 percent of those surveyed agreed, while 35 percent did not agree.
The majority of Americans (62 percent) oppose abortions for unborn babies with Down Syndrome. Additionally, 59 percent are in favor of banning the procedure after 20 weeks of pregnancy, except to save the life of the mother.
When questions regarding the nature of the unborn are asked, 56 percent of Americans say, “scientifically,” a fetus is “a unique life,” while 35 percent say it is “part of a woman’s body.” Additionally, 42 percent say life begins at conception while 13 percent say life begins at birth.
“Most Americans also believe that laws can protect both the mother and her unborn child (83 percent to 10 percent).”
The survey of 1,066 adults was conducted January 8-10 using landline or mobile phone numbers. Results are statistically significant within plus or minus 3.7 percentage points.
A poll released Monday by Students for Life of America also found that labels such as “pro-life” and “pro-choice” can hide what Millennials actually prefer in terms of policy on abortion.
That poll revealed that 70 percent of Americans between the ages of 18 and 34 support limits on abortion, with 42 percent opposing the procedure broadly.
Despite the image portrayed of popular culture in the media, of those Millennials surveyed, only seven percent supported abortion without any exceptions and funded by taxpayer dollars — the position embraced by the Democrat Party.

 

 

 

Why are leftists thrilled by abortion?



On January 7, Hillary Clinton and New York's Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced their satanic bill to allow abortions through all nine months up to birth.  The intensely jubilant faces of these two Democrats while launching their baby-killing campaign was bone-chillingly evil.  Clinton and Cuomo held their joined hands high in the air like an enthusiastic victorious battle-cry as they grinned ear to ear.  Why were they so happy?  Why are these leftist politicians barely able to contain their excitement over the thought of killing more babies? 
During her presidential campaign, Hillary vowed to protect animals from cruelty and abuse.  And yet, Hillary is elated over her bill to allow abortion doctors to deliver a nine-month-old baby except for the head, then shove scissors into his brain to kill him.  This barbaric, shameful, and evil procedure is called partial-birth abortion
In 2011, Hillary cosponsored the American Horse Slaughter Prevention Act to end the slaughter of horses for their meat.  Meanwhile, Hillary passionately defends Planned Parenthood, which kills babies for their meat, selling dead baby body parts – intact heads sell for premium prices.  Planned Parenthood has made over $100 million selling aborted baby parts
Abortion zealots fear that a conservative majority on the Supreme Court will overturn Roe v. Wade, the unconstitutional ruling that made abortion legal.  Here's how abortion activist Sarah Silverman expressed the urgency of keeping Judge Brett Kavanaugh off the Supreme Court: "This is a position for life, y'all."  In her sad, perverted thinking, Silverman infers that women will die if they cannot for whatever reason kill the horrible thing growing inside them even on the birth date. 
Eighty-five-year-old pro-abortion Supreme Court justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's health is failing.  If she dies or retires, leftists fear that Trump's replacement will be a conservative.  Panicked female abortion zealots are offering their body parts to keep Ginsburg alive.  Abortion zealot Alyssa Milano offered her ribs, kidneys, and a lung to Justice Ginsburg.  Notice the intense passion to do whatever necessary to freely kill babies in the womb.
"Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you..." (Jeremiah 1:5)
Alyssa Milano through the Fuzzy Pet Foundation compassionately rescued a dog in South Korea being raised for slaughter.  It appears that Milano has zero compassion for innocent babies.  She is insanely committed to murdering them before birth.  Also, Milano has not complained about Planned Parenthood profiting from the sales of slaughtered baby body parts.
In 2018, abortion was the number-one cause of death worldwide; over 41 million children were killed before birth.  Again I ask, why is this horrifying stat cause for leftists to celebrate?
In a landslide, Irish voters repealed their anti-abortion laws.  Many observers were uncomfortable with the eerie jubilation of thousands of women in the streets hugging while crying tears of sheer joy
Co-director of the abortion campaign Orla O'Connor said, "This is a monumental day for women in Ireland.  This is about women taking their rightful place in Irish society, finally."
Another Irish woman thrilled about killing babies said, "It's such a great victory for women, for men, for our future generation.  It's just – I'm so emotional."
"And God blessed them.  And God said to them, Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth..." (Genesis 1:28)
Despite God's command to "be fruitful and multiply," many youths vow not to have children because leftists have convinced them that childbirth is extremely destructive to the environment.  Leftists foolishly believe they are smarter than God.
Unquestionably, abortion is the holy sacrament of the demonic religion of liberalism.  Shockingly, over 20 religious leaders gathered to bless the opening of a new Planned Parenthood abortion facility in Washington, D.C.  President and CEO Dr. Laura Meyers said, "In almost every message to our staff, I talk about our doing sacred work."  What is wrong with these people?  How can they claim moral and spiritual high ground killing babies and selling their body parts?
Insanely, a majority of the religious leaders who blessed the new dead baby chop shop are black.  A disproportionately high number of aborted babies are blacks.  Right-thinking black ministers have been sounding the alarm for years how blacks are aborting themselves to extinction
Leftists are in constant rebellion against God's natural order.  Leftist women act as if pregnancy were God's cursed disease, as devastating as cancer, and abortion is the life-saving cure.
Abortion zealots do not view abortion as a necessary evil.  They are actually thrilled when a mother murders her baby.  There is something strange and disturbingly evil about leftists having all the sympathy in the world for animals and not an ounce of sympathy (even disdain) for innocent unborn babies.
